Working Principle:
Planetary Ball Mill has four ball grinding tanks installed on one turntable. When the turntable rotates, the tank axis makes planetary movements, the balls and samples inside the tanks are impacted strongly in high speed movement, and samples are eventually ground into powder. Various kinds of different materials can be ground by the mill with dry or wet method. Minimum granularity of ground powder can be as small as 0.1μm.
Features:
- Planetary movement principle is adopted in the machine, which has high speed, largeenergy, high efficiency, small Granularity.
- Four powder samples from different sizes and different materials can be produced at one time.
- The machine is controlled by frequency converter, you may choose ideal rotating speed according to expected experimental result. The converter is equipped with device of under voltage and over-current to protect the motor.
- The planetary ball mill has functions of timing power off, self-timing forward and reversal rotating. You may choose freely any operation modes of one-way direction, alternation, succession, time setting according to experimental needs, so as to improve efficiency of grinding.
- Technical features of Tencan Ball Mill: Low center of gravity, stable performance, compact structure, easy operation, reliable safety, lower noise, small loss.
- Safety switch is installed on the machine to prevent safety accident if the safety cover is opened while machine is running.

Gear Drive and Stepless Speed Control on the XQM-6
The XQM-6 turns its jars through a gear drive rather than a belt, and the difference shows up in how steady the motion stays. A gear train holds the rotating speed more firmly under load, which matters when the jars are heavy or the material is hard, because any slip between the motor and the turntable would show up as an uneven grind. Speed is set through a frequency converter with stepless regulation, so the operator is not limited to a few fixed settings - any value within the 50-450 rpm revolution range can be chosen. Between the two, the gear drive provides the consistency and the converter provides the control, and the pair is what makes a run repeatable rather than roughly similar.
Revolution vs Rotation: Reading the 1:2 Speed Ratio
A planetary mill has two speeds, not one. The turntable revolves around the centre of the machine, while each jar also rotates about its own axis, and the ratio between them is fixed at 1:2 on the XQM-6. In practice the revolution speed is given as 50-450 rpm and the jar rotation as 100-900 rpm, the two always moving together. That ratio governs how the grinding balls travel inside the jar: a larger contrast between the two motions throws the balls further and adds impact energy, while a smaller one relies more on friction and shearing. Because the ratio is fixed, the useful control for the operator is the overall speed, and the 1:2 figure is simply a way of saying the jar spins twice for every turn of the turntable.
Vacuum and Low-Temperature Grinding Options
Not every sample can be ground in ordinary air. The XQM-6 can be fitted for two special conditions. Vacuum grinding uses a sealed vacuum jar, which suits powders that react with air or moisture, or that must be kept free of oxygen during milling. Low-temperature grinding, offered as an option, suits materials that soften, oxidise or degrade as they heat, and that would otherwise smear rather than break. Both options change the jar and the accessories rather than the base machine, so a laboratory can start with standard jars and add the specialised ones when a project needs them. Choosing between them follows the material: air-sensitive powders point to vacuum, heat-sensitive ones to cooling.
High-Energy Grinding: Pushing the Mill Harder When Needed
During routine work the XQM-6 is run at a comfortable speed for the material, but a planetary mill also offers a high-energy route for stubborn samples. Pushing the mill harder means running at the upper end of the speed range, often with denser media and a longer duration, to put more impact energy into the powder and reach a finer or more thoroughly alloyed result. It is a tool to use with judgement: higher energy also means more heat and more wear, so a high-energy run is usually shorter and more closely watched than a routine one, and cooling of the jars becomes more important. For a powder that resists normal grinding, increasing the energy step by step is a better approach than a single harsh run.
What the 72-Hour Continuous Rating Means in Practice
The XQM-6 is rated for up to 72 hours of continuous working at full load, with a timer that runs to 9999 hours, and that figure is worth understanding before a long run is planned. A continuous rating means the machine is built to keep turning without losing speed over extended periods, which suits processes such as mechanical alloying or slow reactions that need many hours of milling. It does not mean every material should be run flat out for three days: heat builds up in the jars and the sample, and the programme of forward-and-reverse cycles with pauses is there precisely to give the charge breaks. Used sensibly - a steady speed, a correct fill and the alternating programme - the long rating is what allows a slow process to be run in a single overnight session.
